How to Make S’mores Indoors

Hey there! I'm Jessica. I think that motherhood should be savored, like a good piece of chocolate. But sometimes it feels like more duty than delight. Am I right? I'm working to change that. Read more about me here and this blog here.

You can make s’mores in rain or shine with this easy recipe. It’s so quick, you’ll have chocolate on your face in about five minutes.

Today was a cool rainy day – a perfect day for something hot and chocolatey. FishChick was sitting at the table at lunch, looking at the box of graham crackers. And through crumbs, mumbled, Look Mama, they make this thing with chocolate and marshmellows. She’s only three and she is still hard to understand sometimes, especially through crumbs. But, whatever words she used, I knew what she meant. And it just so happened that we had….

Methinks this is the makings of some indoor s’mores.

If I were an Adventure Mama, I might have swaggered outside and started a fire in a pit or at least in the BBQ. Or I might have lit a fire in the fireplace that we never use and let the kids stab each other with skewers. Instead, I used the broiler, saved my home and children from injury, and enjoyed a sweet treat all at the same time.

You can do this, too!

On a baking sheet lay out graham cracker halves. Place marshmellows and two chocolate sections on crackers. Place in broiler for 2-3 minutes, depending on your oven and how toasty you like them.

Place one chocolate half on top of each marshmellow half. If you want to be tricky with the baby, give her one without the chocolate. Not as much fun — for her– but a little cleaner for you!

Enjoy! And then make s’more.

Recipe: How to Make S’mores Indoors

Ingredients

graham crackers

chocolate bars

marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat the broiler.

Lay out a layer of graham crackers on a baking sheet. Place a square of chocolate on half the crackers. Place a marshmallow on each of the remaining crackers.

Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the marshmallows are golden and melty inside.

Top each marshmallow cracker with a chocolate-topped cracker and smoosh together.

Even easier, just put the graham crackers with chocolate and marshmellow on them in the microwave for 10-20 sec. – then put together and eat! No heating of the oven required – and the kids are just as happy!

@Susie’s Homemade, Since we’re just a family of 3, we do ours in the toaster-oven, too! We like that better than microwaving because it keeps the crackers crispy and browns the marshmallows. We cook them at 250 degrees–it takes longer, but nothing burns.

These turned out great! We made them for my daughter’s birthday party last night. The only adjustment I would recommend is to check them every 30 seconds. Apparently our broiler burns really high, so my timer never made it to 2 minutes and I nearly set our kitchen on fire! But we caught it in time and they were delicious!

great way to do the smores without the campfire! we will have the bbq on tonight and, while I don’t fancy gathering around that searing hot propane beast with my marshmallow at the end of a willow stick, I am going to put the pan of smores on the grill using the method you’ve pictured. Works for pizza, so why not!!
